Lavender Vanilla Snack Bites

These just seem like the most perfect afternoon coffee snack! Lavender is heavenly and these are mildly sweet for a great dessert or snack!

 The original recipe is from This Rawsome Vegan Life and can be found here: http://www.thisrawsomeveganlife.com/2012/05/lavender-vanilla-dream-balls.html#.VcjgQSnyc0s

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup coconut 
• 1 cup walnuts
• 1 cup almonds ( I did a mix and match and used whatever I had available)
• 3/4 cup dates 
• 1-2 tb melted coconut oil
• 1-2 tb agave 
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ginger powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp dried lavender

Instructions:

1. Mix the coconut and nuts in a food processor and process until throughly mixed.

2. Add in dates and process until a dough starts to form.

3. Add in remaining ingredients.

4. Roll into snack bites. Try a tablespoon measure if you want them to be uniform. 

5. Place in freezer to firm up.

6. Store in plastic container in fridge.

Optional Chocolate Dipping Sauce:

IF you want you can also dip the snack bites in chocolate sauce. I made my own vegan sauce from cocoa powder, coconut oil, and a little agave. If you chose to add the chocolate sauce, I suggest placing the snack bites back in the freezer after to firm up before placing in the fridge.
